Mrs. Simpson:Well I mean this is exactly what happened to my grandmother.

Doctor:Tell me a bit more about your grandmother?

Mrs. Simpson:Well she died from breast cancer.
And when the recurrence started she was in a tremendous amount of pain.
And it went on and on and on.

Doctor:So the pain and your grandmother's experience, it must have made you...

[ Music ]

Mrs. Simpson:Are you telling me that in this day and age, you can't cure this?

Doctor:Why don't you tell me just what's going through your mind right now?

Mrs. Simpson:Going through my mind right now?
It's pretty obvious, isn't it? I'm worried that I'm going to go down
the same road as my grandmother.

Doctor:Well I wish I could guarantee that we
could cure the situation. That's not possible. But obviously I don't
know exactly how your grandmother was treated. But even in the last few
years, there are very many options that simply weren't available even
back then. I know that's not a great deal but it's something.

Mrs. Simpson:I know it's something, but even that something doesn't sound so good right now.

Doctor:Why don't you tell me a little bit more about your concerns and what you're really worried about?

Mrs. Simpson:I'm scared of the pain.

Mrs. Simpson:It just wasn't worth going through all that chemo and hormone treatment in the first place now was it?

Doctor:Why don't you tell me more about that?

Mrs. Simpson:Well...

Doctor:Yeah?

Mrs. Simpson:...it just feels so hopeless.

Doctor:Hopeless?

Mrs. Simpson:Yes, I mean I thought I had a reasonable chance that it wouldn't come back at all or maybe after a longer time.

Doctor:You sound as if you're running really low on hope.

Mrs. Simpson:In fact what really upsets me is
that he said that it was a muscle strain, a muscle strain and its
cancer. You know what? I should sue him.

Doctor:Sue him? I mean just tell me a bit more about that.

Mrs. Simpson:I can't think of anything but Dr. Stone saying it's a muscle strain and looking all smug and confident and just brushing me off.
